Sculpture in the wild: #AnishKapor ’s Eye in Stone (1998, Lødingengranite) installed on the shoreline of Vestbygd, #Norway #SkulpturlandskapNordland

Newly relevant thanks to #Oppenheimer - a wonderful anthology ed by Catherine Jolivette which I was lucky enough to be part of

Wonderful outing to the 'Portraits of #Dogs : From Gainsborough to Hockney' exhibition at Wallace Collection.

Loved this beautiful metalpoint study of a dog's paw by #Leonardodavinci from c. 1490-95 from National Galleries of Scotland

Had an amazing evening with jake auerbach & Aga Baranowska - truly a treat to see these two incredible films on the big screen! So pleased to have been asked to take part and excited to catch more screenings from the Arts Council England archives!

Great summer party last night Tate Britain - bold new rehang is looking good!

Love Peter Doig's flow and bite of materials - stunning viewed side by side at the two complimentary displays @TheCourtauldLove (main exh & special display in Drawings Gallery).

E.G. Alice at Boscoe's, 2014-1023, oil on linen & Untitled, 2017, etching with aquatint & spitbite.

Congrats to all involved with the opening of Gilbert & George's new art centre off Brick Lane - looking sharp!

So sorry to hear of #BerniceRose 's passing. Her work with drawing theory has been inspirational. I hope her legacy only grows.

Caught the #AliceNeel exh Barbican Centre
Love how she paints bodies like crumpled sheets - ragged, delicate, & sometimes sublime

Greatly enjoyed Action, Gesture, Paint: Women Artists and Global Abstraction 1940-70 Whitechapel Gallery

Highlights: #Frankenthaler & #SandraBlow for their sheer power + excitement seeing #LilianHolt , wife of #DavidBomberg & deserving of much more appreciation in her own right!

Some highlights from last month’s travels in Southeast Asia: Stumbling across some #BritArtists in beautiful places! #AntonyGormley ’s Contain (2022) hidden away in a #WatPho courtyard, #Bangkok & #MarcQuinn ’s Planet (2013) in the #GardensByTheBay , #Singapore

Stunned by #MagdalenaAbakanowicz exh Tate. Beautifully installed, hauntingly powerful fiber sculptures ... I love the curatorial links between her #drawings on paper & through fiber 'lines' - from the weave of threads to the thick loops of ropes. Highly recommend visiting!

Impressed by tone of National Gallery's #lucianfreud #show - especially enjoyed the inclusion of unfinished works that reveal paint strokes as weaving into muscles over rough, emotive under- #drawings

Proud to be returning to teach with The Courtauld Summer School with 'Unruly Britannia: The Brit Art Renaissance of 1945-1970' in June: courtauld.ac.uk/short-courses-…

Happy New Year!

We have a new Tate Library and Archive collection display of (mostly British, mostly 1960s) Concrete poetry posters! Huge thanks to Archive Curator Peter Eaves for working with me on this display.

Arrived today! Very excited to read #SigridWeigel 's Grammatology of Images: A History of the A-Visible ( Fordham Press, 2022): fordhampress.com/9781531500276/…

The detail on show York Art Gallery's 'Young Gainsborough' is fascinating: the gridding of the study for National Gallery's Cornard Wood, the accidental oil spill from feverish work, the portrait sketch (Miss Lloyd) on the back of one of his landscape studies. Don't miss it! 🧐

The entire #MakingModernism exh Royal Academy is beautiful - yet, for me, Käthe #Kollwitz 's #drawings stole the show. Her etchings are better known, but her use of crayon as well as charcoal + her orientation of the paper's laid lines are technically incredible and visceral!

#MariaBartuszová (1936-1996) exh Tate is a compact gem. Her plaster #sculptures emanate reflective serenity - natural & monumental yet also soft, fragile, timeless, & surprising. I found the entire experience very moving.
